Remember: War of the Son

Min Namkoong is fenomenal in this. He is the main star of the show. His ability to play the extremely disturbed and insane Nam Gyu Man is out of bounds. High praise for his acting skills.

I hope he'll show more of his skills in other projects.

About the show/story: This show once again shows the extreme differences between the "upper" and "lower" class. Money buys everything, and money thinks it is above the law, even the law itself.

The show was highly frustrating in that way.

It was a nice procedural law series with a somewhat satisfying outcome.

The loose ends are all tied up and you can help but feel a bit triumphant at the ending of show.

I was hesitant to watch this drama at first. Though I've already seen some clips of it on Youtube, I thought it was boring and mediocre. I want to stay away from melodramatic and tear-jerking dramas as much as possible, and just stick with light, fun and comedic stuff.

This is one of those that carry heavy loads of emotions, which in the midst of doubt, became one of my favorites. Great story line. Very interesting yet "frustrating" plot. I got hooked in the first fifteen minutes run of the pilot episode.

Although I'm more into cheesy and romantic kind of a story, Remember is an exception, along with Angry Mom. It talks more about crime, conspiracy, political aspects, bureaucracy and the like with very minimal romance. Sure, there are specks of unintentionally hilarious scenes, but I have no idea about the practices and implementation of laws in S.Korea, so I can't pinpoint things out for discussion. Besides, those are too little to distract viewers and ruin the entire episodes or even the story line for that matter.

Otherwise, Namgoong Min and Yoo Seung-ho's acting is phenomenal! The first, stirred my anger with his crazy 'stunt' and outre behavior ,while the latter burst me into tears, almost the entire drama. The affliction of the main character(s) is real. The emotional impact is 'severe'. It affected me really hard.

I highly recommend this drama. It's worth it! And it's worth it hundred times!

The trope of the underdog family being crushed by the son of a wealthy chaebol son, whilst the underdog son seeks revenge - Yes, but with such a different twist.

A father accused of murder while he is suffering from Alzheimers, is defended by his attorney son who has Hyperthymesia syndrome (an ability to remember life experiences and items of his surroundings in precise detail.

The character development of the main leads stands out in the KSeries. Well done to the the scriptwriters!

The acting of Namgoong Min and Yoo Seung-Ho just excellent.

The ending was phenomenal, whilst heartbreaking it was reality. Although justice was achieved the final touch was so real it was heartbreaking.

Supporting Brilliant Acting right across the board.

Watched in Audio Korean and English subtitles.

Even a 2 year old doesn't fall for such stupid plot lines 😭😭

The first 4 episodes were dedicated entirely for their backstory and they did an outstanding poor job in that regard. These first 4 episodes were painful to sit through, unbelievably boring, lacking any interesting or gripping elements and it failed to lay the groundwork for things to look forward to in the future episodes. If that wasn't enough, the main story was mostly shelved and the subsequent episodes turned into side cases with slight relation to the bad guy until it returned to the main case in the last few episodes. Although the male lead was labeled as a genius and has super powers but his character proved to be otherwise. Namkoong Min playing a pathetic low-life chaebol playboy villain was definitely a miscast. It would more suitable for him to play a smart cunning merciless villain but the director was blind. On the other hand, Jeon Kwang Ryul playing the main victim with Alzheimer and being a good loving father was weird, another miscast and oversight from the production. The trend continues Park Min Young playing a prosecutor, it's just not it.
